Description
Enter the world of animated paper engineering with these 14 whimsical projects for making automata out of cardstock. Well-illustrated directions explain the use of levers, gears, cranks, and other devices and precise cut-and-assemble components put these ingenious paper "whirligigs" within reach of papercrafters of modest skill and experience. Review: Challenging in places - Not for the very young, would need supervision. Interesting to see how the mechanics work. Review: Superb - These models need accuracy and patience to put together but produce superb models that work well and are v clever. Really impressed! If another book is available I would purchase that too.
